So Edward and I have been together over four years and we're hoping to get married next July. We want to keep the costs as minimal as possible so that we don't have to borrow a lot of money and so we can also pay for the honeymoon. We've budgeted for around £3000. I've enlisted the help of my friend Lorna to help plan all this as she's quite the party planner.
So to the good stuff. So far we have booked the venue for the engagement party and it is in 4 weeks. I'm really looking forward to it. And if all goes well it could be a sign of the good things to come. We decided to have it at the Newsroom, Edinburgh as they have a free function room if your guests reach a minimum spend. We've invited over 60 people but I already know a few who won't be able to make it. So I'm not too worried about not reaching the minimum spend.
I also tried on my first wedding dress today. It wasn't anything too serious, just to see how they fit and how much weight I have to lose. I'm hoping to have lost over 3 stone which in a year and 4 months shouldn't be hard. So the dress was gorgeous except for some gold beading. I want as simple and as elegant a dress as possible. So it was good to see that what I'm looking for is out there. And I love playing dress up so it was fun.
Anyhow tomorrow we are going to look at our first wedding venue. I'm really excited about this as this venue is the one I really want and I'm hoping Edward will love it as much as I do and we can set an official date.
That is all for now! I will keep you posted.
Fiona
